Of course in reality, false memories aren't implanted so much as cultivated. Patients are encouraged to elaborate upon scary dreams, mental images, etc, and the therapist will insist they're real memories. (Even if the patient protests.)
#quackery #pseudoscience
People who believe in SRA/alter programming will be like "umm akshually it's IMPOSSIBLE to implant fake memories!" up until somebody remembers alien abduction; then suddenly there's "screen memories," which are allegedly fake memories cults use to cover up real ones.
#quackery #pseudoscience
People who practice recovered memory therapy pick and choose what to believe based on whether it sounds truthy.
Some draw the line at aliens. Some draw the line at rituals that sound too extreme.
None of them ask how they can know whether their methods actually work.

Many recovered memory defenders say this isn't *all* SRA therapists, not *all* of them were abusive!
But here's the thing: Using techniques known to produce false positives (see: Arizona Wilder) is abuse even when you're doing it niceys.

If you see anybody (like for example, JD Vance or Matt Gaetz) claiming aliens are actively interacting with us, you should immediately ask yourself how it promotes racism and eugenics. Because that's the purpose of this mythology.
#ufos #aliens #conspiracytheories #pseudoscience
If you understand the rhetoric of eugenics and racism, you can pick up almost any book claiming aliens are interacting with us right now and see it all over. It often manifests as "aliens want our special DNA" or "aliens are altering our DNA."
#ufos #aliens #conspiracytheories #pseudoscience
Modern alien mythology was created by a lot of white people who believed in race science and eugenics. Panic over race mixing and conspiracy theories about sinister entities promoting degeneracy were projected into space.

Jenny McCarthy’s ‘mold protocols’ spark brutal online backlash #JennyMcCarthy #MoldProtocols #HealthCrisis #Pseudoscience #Backlash
Staci had been looking forward to the after party more than the upcoming paintball battle, but after last night’s meeting with Gerard Campbell, she was confused and probably more than a little scared. Honestly, she wouldn’t mind the physical activity and aggression of the war game. She was reeling and more than a little torn over what to do. Taking the job was dangerous. Possibly career-destroying. But she could do some good for the world. Good for herself. Her side ached. But it wasn’t the physical pain that had her on edge. She took a steadying breath. Gerard had wanted to wrap up negotiations on her contract today, but she’d insisted it would have to wait for tomorrow afternoon. She wouldn’t miss today’s bachelor and bachelorette party for anything. That Freya was here to discuss the pros and cons of the job was a bonus. Well, she knew the cons. Rabid fans harassing her after she exposed the ridiculousness of his theories. She’d never be able to work for Friday Morning Valkyries if her face became synonymous with Lost Civilizations. FMV’s work was covert. She would be tabloid fodder.
In FALSE FLAG, an archaeologist infiltrates a pseudoarchaeologist podcaster's "expedition" to prove his theories are a grift.

Today in "scientifically unvalidated, ethically impermissible": India's National Medical Commission (NMC) has "declared stem cell therapy illegal for the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), issuing a nationwide advisory."

And it's so frustrating because the same techniques they're using to help people "remember" this stuff can be used to make people "remember" demonstrably fictitious past lives. Why are we still taking this seriously?
#conspiracytheories #pseudoscience
People who say there's cults practicing alter programming/trauma-based mind control claim it's unrelated to the Satanic Panic; but then you go and read the literature written by the therapists who promote it and it's all Satanic Panic myths and conspiracy theories.

"This person's inner world is really complex! Somebody must have designed it!" Some people naturally have a strong ability to imagine and visualize complex things! That also goes for people with dissociative identity disorder!
#pseudoscience #quackery
None of the things that people claim are signs of trauma-based mind control/alter programming actually require it to explain them. There's no reason to think certain types of alters or inner worlds require a designer. It's like young earth creationism for DID.

Predatory therapists are still using the pseudoscientific myth of alter programming to manipulate and exploit patients, by the way: www.courthousenews.com/bizarre-clai...

"Cults program their victims to tell therapists that their memories of ritual abuse must have come from media or their own imaginations" is how you get therapist gaslighting.
#quackery #pseudoscience
Right now I'm reading through Healing the Unimaginable: Treating Ritual Abuse and Mind Control by Dr. Alison Miller. Not only is the whole concept/myth of alter programming unscientific, but she's explicitly citing far right conspiracy theorist Svali.

Horrific malpractice: a PhD statistician just posted on Andrew Gelman's blog that he had a chatbot make up a list of canonical authors, make up a list of their major publications, calculate their age at publication, and create a chart. "Did you check to make sure that the LLM-generated data was […]
In August of 2025 a paper submitted in PLOS One supported the controversial 'Younger Dryas #comet impact' theory, which has been equated with #pseudoscience in pages like Wikipedia, because it's often invoked by alternative historians like Graham Hancock.

Can #AI read personality, emotions, or criminality from the face? In this paper, Päivi Seppälä and I examine some such controversial AI applications and argue that in many cases, they are best understood as social pseudotechnologies. You can read the article here for free!

Nobody presents their case as #pseudoScience, right?
The same techniques certain therapists use to help people "remember" alleged repressed memories have helped people "remember" past lives in places that never existed, like Lemuria. That's how we know it's #quackery.
